Due to increased workloads an opportunity has arisen to recruit a Revenues Officer post in the Council Tax team on a full time, temporary basis, working on Preston correspondence. This is a great team, whose responsibility for the collection of council tax promptly and efficiently is crucial to the Council, given current budgetary pressures.
